At any time of day, if someone will ask me what I want to drink, 99% I’d answer coffee. I’m not a coffee-addict though. I limit drinking to 2 cups a day so when I drink one, I always want my coffee to be perfect. I drink both black and coffee with cream. When I drink black, I want it as black as it can be, without sugar. But when I drink white coffee, I want it to be as creamy as it can be. Great Taste White offers me that luxury to enjoy a couple of minutes of break from my freelancing jobs. It’s creamy but...

I’ve been indulging myself with gelatin desserts lately, because I can make them in seconds, I can control the sweetness, I can add any fruits that I want, and they are perfect to quench the summer heat. And because it will be Easter tomorrow, why not make frozen, cold, and sweet gelatin Easter eggs? Their colors made me excited and I know the kids will enjoy the fruity and milky flavors that I’m going to make. Gelatin Easter Eggs Delight – cold, sweet and fruity I didn’t have egg molds so I used the...
I became a fan of Yeah Yeah Chinese Cuisine the first time I dined in this restaurant. You can read my past review about Yeah Yeah Chinese Cuisine here. I have to highlight though why I can truly recommend this restaurant. Their dishes are not only delicious but for me, they taste clean and well-seasoned. Clean because I haven’t tasted any greasy dish. In fact, the beef noodles do not have that greasy taste even when I ate it cold. Well-seasoned because the food I tried there were all flavorful, savory and not salty. Yeah Yeah...
Raise your hand if you are one of those who couldn’t take their mornings as complete without a cup of “sinangag” or fried rice or a steaming cup of white rice with their favorite ulam : fried egg, fried danggit, corned beef, hotdog, etcetera! That’s how it is at home, specially for my husband. My kids and I can live without rice (only on breakfast) but still, the choices we have for quick breakfasts are very limited. Calorie Counting Quaker Oats, our favorite quickcooking oats are here to save us all from the...
Summer’s coming and everyone will be craving for cold desserts such as halo-halo and ice cream topped with ube halaya. And because ube halaya is my all-time favorite dessert, either as a topping or a spread, I found a recipe for an exact replica. Same taste, better texture and no back-breaking cooking involved. Here’s a recipe how to make a potato halaya and potato...

After visiting 3 restaurants in Cebu and tasting all those delicious dishes creatively made using the different variants of US Potatoes, who wouldn’t be excited to try making their own? The goal of the US Potato...
It was my first time to go out on a food blogging trip far away from my family but you know why I joined it? Because it’s US Potato Safari 6! And I’ve read a lot about how exciting this annual activity is, where participants visit different restaurants to discover dishes that used US Potatoes ingeniously. Group photo at MexiMama, Day 2 of US Potato Food Safari 6 As a home cook, I find it exciting to imitate dishes from the restaurants where my family eat out during special occasions or on weekends. I find it fun to tweak recipes and...
